- Have you heard about the Mollie Makes Handmade Awards? They are celebrating the best in the handmade world and the people in it! I am so thrilled to be part of the judging panel with Blogtacular in the category dear to my heart, collaboration! You can find out more here.

- Have you seen Kate from A Playful Day's Love Your Blog challenge? I have really enjoyed reading the posts that have popped up in my reader.

- Speaking of collaboration and craft, have you seen Joanne's new Facebook group all about making your own crochet and knit garments?

- I have a couple of new patterns out in #crochet. My favourite is a piece they asked for as a skirt, but I have sewn up and wear as my new favourite cowl, as you know, its Scotland and still cold here. I tell you what, that Debbie Bliss Paloma is squishy-delicious.
